So I'm forced to use Java for my summer internship. Guess who is gonna sneak Clojure source files every here and there! And why just Clojure tho, let's use a JVM language for each module!

Anyone have a good (open) corpus or generator of human names that covers a good amount of the different types of names people can have?
Preferably tagged with ethnicity or nationality. The names don’t have to be real, just representative.
@eumiro maybe?

Sooo.... you're saying that unstable has been more stable than stable, which has been more unstable than unstable then?🤔
Strange times, when a mega corp like #Amazon seems to do the right thing: https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/12/DCO.html
I want to take this chance to say that there's no such thing as a corperation identity, each is composed of many many different divisions and people. Though, Amazon making use of #DCO does not give them the right to abuse worker and union rights for example, and their abusive behavior towards small businesses must be punished in form of #boycotting.

Is anyone interested in starting a new adaptive GTK Rust client for Signal for Linux smartphones and desktops? I wrote a post on the @PINE64 forum about my reasoning for this technical approach:

Please boost.
*Do not respond to this with criticism of Signal*. If you're annoying about that, I'll block you.
I think I found a way to stay at home and yet still socialize with folks all around the world: #IPFS, the InterPlanetary Friend System!

"if only we could get the scoundrels out and get the right, good people into government, the world will be better off" is the equivalent of "if we only hire smart people, don't use strcpy, and are really careful then we will be able to write programs in c without memory corruption bugs and exploits!"
nice dream but how many times over how many decades must you bloody your head on that wall before you learn?

Just noticed that with a web UI for sending patches, #SourceHut is really part of the #Fediverse. I mean it is well known that SourceHut embracing the #email workflow is embracing federation, but providing facilities (including an email server) to send patches from git.sr.ht on one instance to lists.sr.ht, possibly on another instance, is a whole other level. No more the pain of having to register for every instance to contribute upstream like on #GitLab or #Gitea.

This is not what I usually expect when somebody calls be that their router isn't working
As someone who constantly advodcate for #Matrix, I still gotta admit that I still can't wrap my head around how its #E2EE actually works. And maybe I'm getting old, but I start feel like I agree with all of Drew's neo-Luddistic ideas: https://drewdevault.com/2021/04/07/The-next-chat-app.html
Butane soldering ira are really cool!

34% of WFH workers say they’d rather quit than return to full-time office work
And if they do need to come back to the office, even part-time, employees said they expect some changes. For example, they’d want their employer to cover their commuting costs, and also provide some form of childcare.
Among my long history of unrealistic activism, this is probably the most unrealistic: https://www.change.org/p/lg-electronics-lg-to-open-source-their-phones-as-they-are-shutting-down-production-for-good
